Volume 3 No. 46 LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TERRACE BAY November 18, 1948. TERRACE BAY MILL NOW OPERATING Another milestone was reached on Friday; November 12th at Terrace Bay when unbleached pulp was produced for the first time in the mill from wood cut on LongLac's timber limits. On Monday, November 15th, the mill went on a three-shift, around the clock operation. Although bleached pulp will not be produced for another three or four weeks, the production of unbleached pulp marks the beginning of a new phase of the Terrace Bay project. It is just three years since preliminary survey parties began their work in this area, and during the intervening time the project has progressed through its various stages. Through the fall and winter of '45 and '46 roads were cleared and a few buildings constructed. By late spring of 1946 more buildings were added to those already erected in order that men might be housed to build more construction buildings. By late fall of the same year the mill area was cleared and work commenced on the pulp storage building which was to act as storage space for construction materials, and the footings for the Boiler House were poured. By the end of the year the payroll had reached the 400 mark. Early in 1947, the general contractors, Fraser-Brace Engineering Company (Ontario) Ltd. moved on to the job and immediately started building a 1000-man camp near the Millsite which has been called the North Camp during the construction period. Since that time the Millsite area has been a beehive of activity. Work on the townsite commenced in 1946, and by Christmas nine families were living in homes, During '47 and ' 48 the townsite was expanded until there are now 226 houses, a modern shopping centre, a seven room school including kindergarten, and a 54 room hotel which is nearly completed. At the peak of construction, the work force at the project reached the 2000 mark, Cost of the 300-ton sulphate pulp mill and townsite is estimated at $23,250,000. While there is still much work to be done from a construction standpoint, in many respects Terrace Bay now has "arrived."
